- “Hello world” is 2 words (H, E, L, O, W, R, D). Gap letters by about three dits, and put a longer slash-sized gap between words.
- At 18 WPM this takes about 7.7 seconds. Give H (····) its full length — it is the slowest character here.
- Press Play to hear Hello world, or turn on the lamp and match the flashes.
